but not limited to: cheating, multiple submissions, plagiarism, prohibited collaboration, facilitating academic dishonesty, or knowingly furnishing false information. You may have assignments or
projects in which you work with a partner or with a group. For example, you are welcome, and
even encouraged, to work with others to solve homework problems. Even though you are working
together, the assignment you submit for a grade must be in your own words, unless you receive
specific instructions to the contrary. For more information about academic integrity, please go to
http://www.deanofstudents.ucla.edu/.
